**SOLD OUT!!** Josh Turner With Mo Pitney
MCA Nashville recording artist Josh Turner, while a multi-platinum-selling star himself, is a country music fan first and foremost. He’s even concocted his own version of Mount Rushmore conceived solely of country music legends. Turner’s “Mount Rushmore of Country Music” boasts five faces rather than four (it’s his mountain, after all) — Randy Travis, John Anderson, Johnny Cash, Vern Gosdin, and Hank Williams. The giants carved into the granite of Turner’s musical soul form the core of his aptly titled new album, Country State of Mind. “I’ve always said that any song you hear coming from my voice, you’re going to hear bits and pieces of those five guys,” he says. “They taught me how to be Josh Turner.” “When I was growing up, before I moved to Nashville, I was crazy about sad songs,” he says. “There has always been a part of my heart that has loved those sad, lonesome, and slow songs.” Turner chose his guests as carefully as he did his material, selecting artists who shared his love and respect for the material. “I wanted artists I knew have an appreciation for traditional country music,” he says. Besides heroes Travis and Anderson, Turner invited Country Music Hall of Famer Kris Kristofferson to record a new version of his 1973 chart-topper “Why Me” with him. The title track, originally a 1986 hit for Hank Williams Jr., becomes a duet with fellow Grand Ole Opry member Chris Janson. The members of Runaway June take George Jones’ part on “You Don’t Seem to Miss Me,” and Maddie & Tae sing with Turner on “Desperately,” a 2004 single for George Strait and the album’s newest song. Country State of Mind also includes songs originally made famous by Keith Whitley (“I’m No Stranger to the Rain”), Waylon Jennings (“Good Ol’ Boys” Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard), and Alan Jackson (“Midnight in Montgomery”). From the very start of his career through chart-topping hits like “Your Man,” “Would You Go With Me,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” and “All Over Me,” Turner has immersed himself in country music’s history and its iconic figures. After all, this is someone who, as a student at Nashville’s Belmont University, took an open gate on Johnny Cash’s property as a sign he should knock on the legendary singer’s door and introduce himself. “The doorknob wiggles, the door swings open, and there stands Johnny Cash,” Turner recalls. “He and I both jump back, because he didn’t expect to see me, and I sure didn’t expect him to answer the door.” For nearly two decades, Turner has been one of country music’s most recognizable voices, selling more than 8.5 million units and amassing more than 2.5 billion global streams. He has never kept his reverence for traditional country music a secret, but, with this latest album, Josh Turner is definitely in a Country State of Mind. Really, though, he always has been.OBT After Party featuring EDDY GREEN! Country, Bluegrass, Blues and Soul (CBGBs)www.eddygreen.com
Parmalee
Country rock band Parmalee certainly know how to show an audience a good time. Combining elements of traditional country, southern-style rock, and bluegrass, the North Carolina natives have created a slick yet homegrown sound that has made the country world stand and take notice. All multi-instrumentalists, the members of Parmalee put on one heck of a show, rocking audiences from start to finish with their impressive musicianship and captivating stage presence. Needless to say, a tour in support of their 2013 release Feels Like Carolina generated ample excitement among their devoted cabal of fans: Following the release of their 2004 debut album Inside, Parmalee spent two years on tour playing their eclectic brand of southern rock to venues across the nation. The hard work paid off as they developed a solid reputation for being as exciting on stage as they were in the recording studio. In the process they attracted the attention of Motley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx, who helped them write and produce their 2008 EP Complicated, a surprising return to their country roots. In 2012, hit singles “Musta Had a Good Time” and “Carolina” from 2013’s Feels Like Carolina ruled the airwaves, with “Carolina” hitting No. 1 on the US Country Airplay chart and No. 2 on the US Country chart.

He is a recipient of the 2006 USO Merit Award and in 2018 was awarded the Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Medal, one of the highest awards the Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian. Jason Cross is a big personality with an “against the grain” mentality.

Growing up on Guns N’ Roses, Alice In Chains, Metallica, The Eagles, and numerous other rock bands, it’s safe to say he’s got some rock n’ roll roots. Also consuming a good bit of country in his youth would make for the perfect blend of the two. In March 2021, Cross released his debut single “It Ain’t Me” that became a fan favorite and has been writing and releasing new music since. Jason Cross knows how to be vulnerable with his music but also knows when it’s time for a high energy good time.www.jasoncrossmusic.com
